I'm a graduate student in the Romance Languages and Literatures department at the University of Michigan. I studied History at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) in Argentina. My research interest include twentieth century black press and contemporary online publications by Afro-descendants in Lisbon, São Paulo and Buenos Aires. More specifically, my work examines the mechanisms by which Afro-descendant groups contest and negotiate the dominant ideologies of national belonging and the dialogues established across time, geographies, languages and medias. I am also interested in Critical Pedagogy and Digital Humanities and in the ways in which technology and digital media can serve as a tool to share my research and work to a wider audience, but also to develop digital projects in partnership with Afro-descendant organizations across Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries.
